As one of the most adorable books that I have ever read, I would highly recommend this book. When Hadley misses the flight from JFK to London for her father's wedding, she is stuck at the airport for several hours waiting on the next flight. In the meantime her path crosses with Oliver, a British boy waiting to take the same flight on a visit home to England. This casual meeting is only the beginning of their time together as they find themselves in seats 18A and 18C. Thinking the Oliver and Hadley are a young couple, the women between them switches to let them sit next to each other. The two spend most of the flight taking on their way to two very different but important life events. While this story is adorable and heart-warming it is also so much more. This is a story about family, love and forgiveness. Hadley does not feel like she fits into her father's new life in England and is dreading the entire weekend she will have to spend there. Covering the history of how she has come to this point in her life this is a well rounded story about how everything in our lives can lead us to find wonderful things, such as the possibility of love at first sight.
